#1 eye dominance study and its relation to FPS aiming in Off Topic

I started thinking about how the relationship between your dominant and your non dominant eye might influence your aim in FPS games so I looked up a study and found some interesting points. Here's the most relevant part of the conclusion.

"Our main finding is that ocular dominance reverses as a function of ocular dominance, with some modulation determined by the hand used. The functional significance of these results seems to be straightforward. Although the binocular field of view is ≈100° when looking straight ahead, as the eyes rotate peripherally, the monocular field of the inward turning eye is increasingly occluded (largely by the nose) by up to 50%. Therefore, it makes sense for the eye–hand coordination system to choose the eye with best overall field of view. At the same time, in most subjects this gating function is shifted slightly to the left or right (Fig. 2a), most likely to avoid dominance ‘flickering’ at the commonplace central range (i.e. the range tested in previous studies). This strategy allows for preferential gating of visual input from the eye with the best field of view, while avoiding ambiguity at the most common central gaze position."

Basically, the main finding was that people's dominant eye shifts based on what degree they're looking at. They also stated that the switch in dominance is pretty abrupt so Its pretty easy to see how this could have an impact on somebody's ability to aim in TF2 when you consider how players constantly shift their angle of view while tracking and therefor shift their eye dominance. If you're feeling skeptical about the relevancy, I would like to point out that the distance of the target stimuli in the tests were about 20 inches away from the person, which is pretty similar to how close we sit to our monitors and that the threshold for dominance to switch is about 10-20 degrees horizontally, which we certainly meet while tracking fast moving objects on our monitors.

If our dominant eye is shifting, so does our perceived position of an object. This leads me to believe that if we position our eyes in a way that minimizes the likelihood of switching eye dominance, we will have better aim. Since most people are right eye dominant, if you angle your head slightly to the left you'll have to shift your eyes much further to the left to in order to reach the the threshold needed to switch dominance. You could also shift the position of your monitor in the direction of your dominant eye.

#1 Technical writing? in Off Topic

I'm curious to see if anyone here has any experience with this career and could offer advice or even give me a better idea of what the job actually entails. I've recently started looking into this as a career option because it seems like it would be a good fit for me in terms of taking advantage of my academic strengths, work/life balance, the pay is decent, and though I've heard mixed things about the job market, its certainly not the worst option. At least I can say I found fixing up the powerpoints and instruction manuals at my last job much more enjoyable than what I was actually there to do, which was cold-call sales. Then again, I don't think many people actually enjoy cold-calling besides the most extreme extroverts hahaha

#9 Deathadder middle click feels "soft" in Hardware

Try stroking it and If that doesn't work try again in a little bit. The most important thing is to make sure he doesn't feel pressured.

#47 Original music thread! in Music, Movies, TV

Bandcamp is donating all of their proceeds today to the American Civil Liberties Union (https://www.aclu.org/) today so I figured it would be a good idea to compile all of the bandcamp links posted in this thread so far because now is a better time than ever to support independent artists and fellow tf2 enthusiasts.

Hey so our thing is up for pre-order and comes out on the 14th :D I decided to post this today because Bandcamp is donating their share of the proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union (https://www.aclu.org/), so we decided that we should hop on the charity train and donate all of our proceeds to the International Rescue Committee (https://www.rescue.org/) for now until the foreseeable future (when i need to pay for esea fees/pay pankeyman back for his illuminated insight on the shadow realm beneath the systems of e-sports capitalism.)
